Fabric Composition & Origin :200 count hand spun 100% organic cotton.
The cotton ingredient of this garment is hand twisted into yarn and handwoven into fabric without the use of electricity in the Gondal region of Gujarat, naturally dyed in Pondicherry - the fabric is then cut, sewn and finished in New Delhi.
Our signature shades of indigo are achieved through a careful blend of indigenous ingredients from the Indian landscape including : natural indigo cultivated with a 100% fructose based solution.
Indigo fermentation involves creating conditions for microbiota to thrive - it’s a collaboration with microbial communities. This bioprocess is similar to the making of yoghurt, wine, kombucha, cheese, soy sauce & pickle.
Natural dyes are kinder for the health of your skin - the ingredients involved are safe enough to eat. Wearing naturally dyed organic cotton is a way to preserve the sacred space around your body as well as the environment we all live in.
Small batch natural dyeing results in pieces that are unique and celebrate the imperfect beauty of handmade processes.
Bandhani, derived from the Sanskrit term bandh or to tie : is a resist tie-dye fabric embellishment practice achieved through the meticulous plucking of the cloth into tiny temporary bindings forming a motif that is revealed after over dyeing and removing the threads.
Bandhani is a miniature form of resist tie and dye. The earliest example of Bandhani can be seen in 6th century paintings depicting the life of Buddha found in the cave drawings of Ajanta.
